Try different ones out! If you have the time at least.

Otherwise, I’d personally suggest trying out some of the more active Wayland WMs, such as Hyprland or Niri, and of course, sway which is i3 but for wayland! :)

I suggest Wayland because X11 is being dropped everywhere, so it isn’t too wise to get used to an X11 WM, if you’re going out of your way to learn something new in the first place 🙂🤷‍♂️

Literally 1984 (/s)

Can’t even order Donalds from your phone that you bought with your own money anymore 🫡

I don’t even understand. Am I getting this wrong?? Does the payment processing happen inside the banking app?! Because if so, that’s the bigger problem isn’t it? All the checks for correctness should happen on the servers that the banking app connects to, not the banking app itself. If that’s already the case, then what are they worried about? I’m probably missing something here, but honestly I just don’t understand why they would do that.

Gotchu. Thank you for letting me know! :)

I’ll go on to create one then. Since you said that you like the idea, it’s name is probably going to be “cryptolancing” since that would make it easier to find both for people searching for “crypto”, and for “freelancing”.

Keep a lookout if you’re interested

Of course! I’ll let you know. I submitted a request for it on Lemmy.wtf as of now. I’ll try different instances if that doesn’t work out, and I’ll link the final result here.

I can’t fucking agree more honestly. I already use LineageOS on my phones and not the stock ROMs that they come with, but even then, Google’s way of locking you in with their “open-source” Android kernel is very annoying. Some of the most popular Android apps won’t work because of their Safety-Net and Google Services dependencies. And let’s not even get started on the dozens of binary blobs in the firmware that you can’t get rid of if you want your phone to keep on working.

It’s all so shitty. I’d drop my android phone for a Linux one in an instant if there’s even a decent one out there that works reliably. It’s so sad to see that it’s just a niche yet for privacy obsessed people and that’s it. It definitely needs more attention and funding.

Aaaand a new community was thus born!: !Cryptolancing@Lemmy.wtf

There are services for that available on the web, such as FairTrade on dread that d/Jobs4Crypto mods recommend. I had experience with this one. Looking for similar ones on the web, there’s also FairDesk on clear-net, but I didn’t have experience with them. The mods on r/Jobs4Bitcoins offer escrow services themselves, which I hope to offer if my users are willing to trust me with their money. I would have more to lose in the long-term by betraying their trust and taking their money for my own, than to just be honest and offer a good escrow service for my users, so that the activity in the community can continue as intended :)

If that’s not convincing enough though, any 3rd party escrow service that both of the end-users agree on can be used. As long as the person or organization that offers the escrow service is trustable, it should be able to do the job.
